BREATHER VENT FOR HYDRAULIC TANK
A vent having a vent housing defining a mounting structure, a first opening between a first end and a second end of the vent housing, a first airflow pathway from the first opening, a second airflow pathway from a second opening, and a draining pathway from the first airflow pathway through the first end of the vent housing. The first airflow pathway has a first segment and a second segment extending in opposite axial directions. An inlet relief valve and an outlet relief valve are arranged in parallel between the first and second airflow pathways. The inlet relief valve opens upon exceeding a first threshold pressure differential of the second relative to the first airflow pathway. The outlet relief valve opens upon exceeding a second pressure differential of the first relative to the second airflow pathway. A filter assembly is disposed in the vent housing across the second airflow pathway.
TANK WITH INTEGRATED SKIRT
The tank (10) for storing a liquid comprises at least one component (14) including at least one port (22) bringing the inside and the outside of the tank (10) into fluid communication. The component (14) comprises two separate members, namely a first member (16) integral with a wall (12) of the tank (10) and a second member (18) attached to an outer face of the wall (12) of the tank (10).
Venting apparatus for liquid containers, in particular for liquid containers for an aqueous urea solution
The present invention discloses a venting apparatus (10) for liquid containers, in particular for an aqueous urea solution, and comprises a housing (11) that is connectable to the liquid container (40) and that has a first opening (12) to the liquid container (40) and a second opening (13) to the surrounding environment of the liquid container. The venting apparatus further comprises an air-permeable and liquid-impermeable membrane, which is arranged between the first opening (12) and the second opening (13) in the housing (11). In addition, the venting apparatus comprises a slosh baffle, which at least partly covers the first opening (12). The venting apparatus (10) according to the invention is characterized in that the housing (11) and the slosh baffle (20) are formed in one piece.
Method for operating a switch valve that opens and closes a fluid line fed by a filter and feeding an intake pipe
A method for operating a switch valve which opens and closes a fluid line is disclosed. The switch valve is actuated by a pulse width modulated signal. The switch valve is actuated outside of the active operating time of the switch valve using PWM signals with an increasing or decreasing duty cycle. The duty cycle in which the switch valve is opened is determined, and the duty cycle corresponding to the opening time is then used to actuate the switch valve to open and close the switch valve during the active operating time of same. In this manner, the switch valve can be actuated in a particularly precise manner.
Work vehicle having engine mounted thereto
A work vehicle having an engine mounted thereto includes a vehicle body frame extending in the longitudinal direction of vehicle, a seat supporting deck supported to the vehicle body frame via a suspension unit, a driver's seat supported to the seat supporting deck upwardly of this seat supporting deck, a fuel tank supported to the seat supporting deck downwardly of the driver's seat and supplying fuel to the engine; and a canister supported to the seat supporting deck and connected to the fuel tank.
WORK VEHICLE HAVING ENGINE MOUNTED THERETO
A work vehicle having an engine mounted thereto includes a vehicle body frame extending in the longitudinal direction of vehicle, a seat supporting deck supported to the vehicle body frame via a suspension unit, a driver's seat supported to the seat supporting deck upwardly of this seat supporting deck, a fuel tank supported to the seat supporting deck downwardly of the driver's seat and supplying fuel to the engine; and a canister supported to the seat supporting deck and connected to the fuel tank.
Venting system for a diesel exhaust fluid filler pipe
A venting system for a filler pipe coupled to a diesel exhaust fluid tank in a vehicle is provided. In one example approach the venting system comprises a plurality of cut-outs in an interior surface of the filler pipe along the interior diameter of the filler pipe in a top surface of the filler pipe.
Fuel tank connector
A fuel tank connector includes an upper chamber provided with a first communication portion relative to a ventilation flow path; and a lower chamber provided with a third communication portion relative to the upper chamber. A bowl-shaped portion narrowing downward is formed in a bottom portion of the upper chamber, and the third communication portion is formed in a bottom of the bowl-shaped portion. A cover body having a container shape, including a top portion and a side portion and opening at a lower face is supported directly above the third communication portion with a ventilation interval between the open edge and the third communication portion.
Plastic filler neck for vehicles
A method can be used to form a plastic filler neck for a vehicle. The method includes providing a fuel injection pipe comprising a polyamide material containing nanoclay and having a single layer structure in cross-section, inserting and fastening a retainer into an internal space of a tip of the fuel injection pipe to support a refueling gun, directly fastening a cap holder to the tip of the fuel injection pipe, and mounting an air drain casing to an outer diameter portion of the cap holder fastened to the fuel injection pipe using a mounting bracket.
Tank venting filter having a constriction in the air inlet area
A tank venting filter is provided with a housing defining a longitudinal filter axis that is vertically oriented in operation. The housing has a top end and a bottom end and is provided with an air inlet at the bottom end and with an air outlet at the top end. The air outlet is connectable to a tank. The housing is provided with a constriction above the air inlet. A filter element is disposed in the housing and fluidically arranged between the air inlet and the air outlet. The filter element is provided with a first filter. The constriction has an opening cross-section surface area that is less than 40% of an opening cross-section surface area of the air inlet.
